Hello,

Yesterday I discovered at
http://forums.site5.com/showthread.php?p=96629
the following way to use procmail in a
virtual-domain-only environment (that is, no
system accounts for email recipients).

The idea is to just define virtual aliases for
all the valid addresses in this way:

me@virtualdomain1.net   : "|/absolute/path/to/procmail -m /somedir/me.virtualdomain1.net.procmailrc"
joe@virtualdomain2.com  : "|/absolute/path/to/procmail -m /somedir/joe.virtualdomain2.com.procmailrc"
jane@virtualdomain1.net : "|/absolute/path/to/procmail -m /somedir/jane.virtualdomain1.net.procmailrc"

and so on. I'll have the possibility to test it myself
only next week, but in the meantime I'd like to ask.

What do you think? Is it safe,robust, are there any weird
cases (one message going to more than one user?) where
it wouldn't work?

Thanks,
Marco
